Constitución y Reglamento del Consejo Mundial de Iglesias, enmiendas formuladas por el comité central en 2018 (Ginebra, Suiza).

"Changing ecclesial and ecumenical context" : The WCC's Common Understanding and Vision process offers a coherent and challenging vision: a broad fellowship of churches, committed and accountable to one another, seeking visible unity in their life and witness today.

"Changing international and political context" : From the prophet Isaiah to the pastor Bonhoeffer, from Esther in ancient Israel to the Mothers of Plaza de Mayo in Argentina of our day, prophets are real and inspiring. They are raised up in honour at regular intervals in the Bible. God's promise of a new heaven and a new earth owes something to their labors. Yet most believers—no matter how committed to God's justice—would not call themselves prophets or think of themselves as prophetic people.

"Changing religious and cultural context" : In a time of globalization, violence, ideological polarization, fragmentation and exclusion, what is the importance of Christian mission? This Ecumenical Conversation will offer the opportunity to reflect on the message of the gospel and methods of mission in such a context.

"Changing social and economic context" : Poverty threatens life and human dignity. It is not a destiny, but the very result of the methods and structures of wealth creation and distribution of wealth in individual societies and worldwide. Inequality increases not by accident, but by the way economic and political processes are structured and function. Poverty undermines the very basis of life of billions of children, women and men who are denied not only the benefits of growing wealth, but even of access to basic necessities of life.

Ecumenical Conversations provide a space for delegates to share their experiences in addressing key concerns for the future of the churches and their common witness and action.

Las conversaciones ecuménicas proporcionan a los delegados un espacio para compartir sus experiencias sobre la forma en que se plantean sus preocupaciones fundamentales para el futuro de las iglesias y enfocan su testimonio y acción comunes. Las conversaciones ecuménicas ofrecerán, mediante el diálogo, una estimulante oportunidad de examinar juntos la dinámica y las tendencias predominantes del mundo de hoy y discernir los signos de los tiempos a la luz de la fe.
